Once you get past the fact you are playing as a bull with an udder, there's quite a bit to enjoy in Barnyard. [Sep 2006, p.84]- Nintendo Power

Most of the enemies attack very quickly at close range, giving Dredd the advantage from a distance but making contact combat unnecessarily difficult. [June 2004, p.121]- Nintendo Power

DWA does have gameplay (and replay) value that ranks among the best on the GBA. [Oct 2005, p.100]- Nintendo Power

Although your jet fighter naturally stays at one altitude, the game's unusual control scheme allows you to dive for a moment by pressing Up on the Control Pad. [Apr 2005, p.100]- Nintendo Power

For all the frantic zombie-blasting and murky environments, however, the game fails to generate much suspense of horror. [July 2007, p.95]- Nintendo Power

The heroes are big and bold, with solid control and smooth animation. [Feb 2003, p.158]- Nintendo Power

Pokemon Rumble Blast is a somewhat shallow experience, but the simple action and short levels make it a good pick-up-and-play portable game. [Nov 2011, p.75]- Nintendo Power
